Beta testing is now possible for paid users

In my previous post about the launch of version 2.2, I made a brief note about beta testing for paid users – directly from the Google Play store. This is now possible.

In order to become a beta tester, you’ll need to join the Mizuu community on Google+. This is required by Google in order to make the exclusive beta testing work. Once you’ve joined the community on Google+, you’ll need to open the following link and log in to your Google account:

From that link, you’ll be able to join the beta test and leave it again. If you leave the beta test, you can return to the regular version of Mizuu. It is important to note, however, that you WILL need to uninstall the application when leaving the beta in order to get the regular version again.

As a beta tester, you won’t be able to leave public reviews, but I highly encourage you to provide feedback. All feedback is sent directly to me and is private, so if you need to, you’ll be able to send personal details that help describe the issue.

Here we are. The Mizuu Beta-Tester.
The Beta ist very fine! and the Optical changes in the TV-Show looks nice.
Is it possible to show @first start after update a list of changes to have a look at these and taste it?
This help us to test the app and the things you added.
Great thanks for all your work on this wunderfull Application.

I might do that, but not sure. The main changes in the first beta version is the updated seasons / episode view on tablets in landscape, and I’ve done some serious work on optimizing the most used parts of Mizuu, so it runs at 60 fps consistently. There was quite a bit of GPU overdraw in earlier versions, but it’s gone in this one. Also, the menu drawer has been changed, so I’m now using the official one from the Android team. Not sure if I like it or not yet.

What Bobby said. The various video players available for Android are so much better than anything I’d be able to create, so there’s no point in creating one. Besides, this allows users to use their favourite video player with Mizuu, and that’s pretty awesome.
